It’s gotten so hard to find authentic, useful results that people have started adding the word “Reddit” to search terms

I have definitely done that multiple times.

Tentatively called “Alexa Plus,” the paid version of Alexa is intended to offer more conversational and personalized AI technology, said one of the documents obtained by Business Insider.

But the quality of the new Alexa’s answers is still falling short of expectations, often sharing inaccurate information, external tests have found.

Do they really expect people will pay for a large language model making up results on-the-fly?

“If this fails to get revenue, Alexa is in trouble,” one of the people told BI.

I will not shed a tear when Alexa gets shut off, to be honest.

Bring back the Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro!

Optical sensors makes it very hard to fail, it basically lasts forever. Can’t have that in this day and age anymore, poor companies need to sell new crap every year.

We are very lucky, because he forgot that he is one.

Exactly. Lemmy is an anti-doomscrolling platform and that’s very healthy and amazing.

That seems to be standard practice, in my case they unbanned me instantly as soon as I added a telephone number.

Gotta collect that sweet, sweet user data.

I love “Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos”. I even run its official fansite.

To this day, I have never finished the game because it’s hard. I mostly play it like a sandbox space pirate simulator. :D

My Thinkpad T400 from 2010 has 8GB of RAM. This was wild back then. But this was 13 years ago. Stop milking your customers by putting insane margins on memory and storage, Apple.

Oh I got called that, too. Similar problems. Being a teenager was rough.

Debian for the server, Fedora for the desktop. 💪

Yes, but since the wall isn’t paper you can hang really heavy stuff on your walls. I have a massive ghettoblaster sitting on a wooden board over my desk 🥰
